Linda Bones, Jenny Brown, Ken Foster and David Alderton sliding on ice on the static water tank adjoining the building. David Alderton worked in the office in the square glass building. Jenny Brown was a Canadian girl who was a seed analyst. She lived in Takeley, and in about 1967 married David Alderton who worked in the Cooper Taber office.
